Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 System Introduction
LFS-ANM-T43 Non-metal distance controller（hereinafter referred to as”Non-metal distance
controller”）It is a non-metallic cutting automatic distance system based on laser displacement
sensing technology. It can work with RDC633XM for non-metal cutting control system. The
system mainly consists of the following parts：
Motion control system, including notion controller, operation panel and relative control
software
Non-metal distance controller, Laser displacement sensor and laser cutting head
Auxiliary gas switch relay
Positive and negative limit switches of laser cutting head
The motion control system is primarily responsible for the control of the entire non-metal
cutting motion and the external accessories. Non-metal distance controller adjusts the distance
automatically from the sensor to the cutting object according to the laser displacement sensor. To
make that the laser focus falls on the surface of the nonmetal object. The laser head is use to install
focus lens (long lens and short lens) and protection lens, at the same time do same air cooling for
those lens. The non-metal distance controller can control the auxiliary gas automatically. Limit
switch signal connect to the non-metal distance controller to protect motor motion.

480*272. It can be very intuitive display the non-metal distance controller operating status. At the
same time, it can control the cutting head and revise general parameters like functions touch
bottom, data display, motion status display, alarm information display. The main interface as
following:
Function Touch Button：User can operate different functions by touching relative module.
Data Display Area：Used for data display, not touchable；
Focus Offset：This parameter is to set focus offset，it is the distance of focus actual position
to the origin position.
Rise Height：This parameter is the lifting height of the sere cutting status.
Follow Speed：This parameter is the maximum speed of following motion
Manual Speed：This parameter is the maximum speed of manual movement.
Motion Status Display ：Be used to showing the movement status of the cutting head, not
touchable.
Alarm Display：It is display alarm information of the non metal distance controller system. If
showing multiple errors. It can touch “alarm information” bottom to check the details of
alarm information.
It use serial communication for data communication between non-metal distance controller
and touch screen. RuiDa Technology has been equipped cable connection in the product
accessories. The standard length of cable is 1.5 meter. The user only needs to connect according to
interface.
After make sure connection of non-metal distance controller and main board, power on, the
touch screen will enter main interface, which means connection normal.
If touch screen connect error, then the operate panel will showing “connect failure”, it need to
check the connection.

distance controller adjust the cutting head automatically by current parameters and move in
the focus position. When turn off, it cannot control the cutting head.
“SPEED FAST/SLOW”：It is used to change speed fast/slow. When fast speed, the manual
movement maximum speed is manual high speed. When slow speed, the manual movement
maximum speed is manual slow speed. In the touch screen data display area "Manual speed”,
it can view the current manual speed
“Menu”：it can setting the parameters and parameters manager from manual
“Reset”：it can reset the non-metal distance control system and go back to origin. When you
want to reset, please make sure you have installed upper limit switch.(Remarks: Do not reset
when triggering the lower limit)
“±0.1”：You can modify the focus offset online，Fine-tuning the cutting head，increase or
decrease 0.1mm each time. Reads the current focus offset from the data display area of
“Focus Offset”.
“Up and down”：It can control the cutting head moving up and down,press the bottom to
start. It will stop when trigger limit switch or release the bottom.
“Alarm Info”：It can enter into the interface of alarm information, to check the details record
of alarm. It can record 9 times of alarm information.
“Function”：It can enter the interface of blowing test function. Press “blow testing”, blowing
on, when you release the bottom will stop.
“System Info”：You can change the touch screen language and check the non-metal distance
controller software version number
“System time”：it can change the system time。
2.2.2 Parameters Setting
It can set the parameters from “Menu” main interface. Including process parameters, height
parameters, speed parameters, machine parameters etc.

Filter Factor
Increase these parameters to improve the response
speed of the following. But it is easy to shock when
moving. Please set suitable parameters.
Alarm filter
This parameter should not be set too large. Excessive
alarm filter coefficients cannot prevent the cutting
head when breaks down. In contrast, too small alarm
filter coefficient is easy to cause the laser
displacement sensor wrong detection to alarm.
